How to change Chromecast time format and time zone?

Ads:

When Chromecast is idle, it pulls some nice pictures on your TV screen from Google servers.

It also shows time (and date) on the TV screen. Sometimes, you may want to change the time format from 12-hour format to 24-hour format for your Chroemcast. Or, you may find the time is not correct because the wrong time zone was used.

This guide shows you how to change Chromecast time format and time zone from your Android devices using the Chromecast app.

Step 1: Turn on the TV and power up your Chromecast device

You should see the normal Chromecast screen with photos, your WiFi network ID and time on the TV.

I live in Norway. We use 24-hour format. But both my Chromecasts came with 12-hour enabled. And nothing happends when I click on the Time format button (a short flash, no more). Same for Time zone. It’s annoying with 12-hour clock when all schedules etc are in 24-hour format (and I mostly use my Chromecast after noom, and the 12 and 24 are different)

When you tap the time format button, it should pop out the options. You may try to clear cache Anna clear data for the chrimcast app on your mobile device. Then try again. You can also try to change the settings from any other devices on the same network.

No popup for either time-format or time-sone. The text just blinks to indicate that I clicked, nut no popup. Tried on my Samsung S5 with Android 5.0 and on my Asus Pad (Android 4.2). Same result on both. Haven’t tried from Chrome on PC (don’t have it installed on any PC).
